  rpm -q -a --last

Is this the one? 
  kernel-2.6.12-0.21.rdt.rhfc3.ccrma
Is there a Planet CCRMA kernel that is working correctly on that

intact? You could verify the integrity of the installed package by doing
this:

  rpm -V kernel-INSERT_EXACT_VERSION_HERE

What are the contents of /etc/modprobe.conf?
